I used the fabulously fun "Alfresco" set to create my summery scene.

Sup Grill-friend
Supplies:
Cardstock: (white) Georgia-Pacific, (yellow) Bazzill, (black) The Paper Co., Patterned Paper: Echo Park, Stamps: (ant, hot dog, sentiment from the "Alfresco" set) Paper Smooches, Ink: (black) Memento, (green, blue) Clearsnap, Markers: Copic, Ribbon: Paper Smooches, Dies: (Standard Circles SM, Eyelet Circles) Spellbinders Paper Arts, Button from stash

Oh that little ant! ♥♥♥

I masked the ant, stamped the hotdog in her arms and colored them both with Copics. The grass and sky were masked and sponged.

Good Luck and have fun!!
